"Mo-mayhem, mo-carnage, Mobot!"

— Jonathan Pearce

Mobot was a big, bulky, cutoff wedge shaped robot made from aluminium with a steel chassis that exclusively competed in the Seventh Series of Robot Wars. Mobot's weapon was a 23 inch spinning blade mounted underneath the body, weighing around 20kg and spinning at 45mph at both ends. The team captain described Mobot as "cannon fodder,", supported by the fact that it only used alloy armour and a petrol engine, and was a description which proved accurate when 14th seeds Thermidor 2 easily dispatched it in the first round of the heat.

Thermidor 2 flips out Mobot

Mobot participated in Heat J of the Seventh Wars. In its first round battle, it was placed up against the number 14 seeds Thermidor 2, 8645T 2 and Mighty Mouse. In the battle, Mobot went after 8645T 2, but could not do any damage with its blade. Mighty Mouse then came in at speed and rammed Mobot, while Thermidor 2 removed 8645T 2 from the action by flipping it over, from which the latter couldn't self-right. Thermidor 2 then slid beneath the sluggish Mobot and threw it head-over-heels over the arena side wall, leaving it on its front outside of the arena. This resulted in Mobot being eliminated from the competition.
